Why Is This Man Hugging a Lion?

Think lions are ferocious? Think again.

This man helped raise a lion cub while in Botswana. Fast forward later when the cub had grown and the man returned for a reunion the animal was only too happy to take part in.

Look at the joy as the lion jumps into the man's arms. It's a pretty awe-inspiring sight, although we don't recommend trying this the next time you go to the zoo.
